Sensing a Covid19 Virus Free World
by Using Sensor-Induced Air Purifiers
The COVID19 Pandemic is mainly transmitted by Air. In this regard, various means have been instituted to diminish such manner of transmission e.g. by the wearing of face masks and personal protectors.
​
Such precautionary measures have not been that effective as the minute virus still finds a way to penetrate the body's external and internal defenses. Once inside, it creates havoc on a person's internal organs; causing death in a matter of days.
A measure of effective response is needed to immobilize or keep the virus from engaging with a person's sensitive well-being.
​
Then, comes our project: the Sensor-Induced Air Purifiers (SIAP). The SIAP stops the virus dead in its tracks by emitting short bursts of purifiers induced by highly sensitive sensors placed at strategic points of the enclosure. Equipped with three (3) kinds of sensors which detect high temperature, cough and sneeze; and the virus itself, the SIAP is the ultimate weapon against the Corona Virus.
​
Likewise, data from space e.g. on population mobility and rainfall supplement and enhance the functionality and capability of the technology embedded in the SIAP. With such data, virus-induced thrived situations can be predicted and addressed. And in the process, its efficacy and usability is magnified a couple of notches more.
Summary
Our project Sensor-Induced Air Purifiers (SIAP) is composed of two phases: detection measure and prevention measure.
​
First phase involves the integration of 3 important sensors that would detect the temperature of a person, the audio sensor to monitor coughs and sneeze; and the tin-oxide sensor to collect ambient readings.
​
Once the prototype detects all possible signs, Second phase will be triggered. This phase prevention measure consists of fog/mist machine which will be used as a means of distribution for the disinfectant and the HEPA purifiers to maintain the quality of air and reduce the presence of virus(if any). In addition, the tin-oxide sensor can be places in locations where it could collect more particles for testing.
